Cryptozoic Man #4

Cryptozoic Man #4 is an imperfect but engaging ride that gives us a somewhat rushed ending. Still, the creative team yields enough quality to earn my recommendation. Read Full Review

I liked it when I got what was going on, The art was reasonably solid throughout, and I will admit I went into the series with reservations about whether Walt Flanagan could deliver that based on the handful of times his work has been published. However, these reservations were largely overcome. The bizarre story was augmented by the similarly weird imagery that accompanied it. Looking back at the series I would definitely suggest people read it, so as to compare notes, and I would certainly suggest horror fans should pick it up to experience its weirdness. Just so long as you realise this is a series that certainly wont appeal to everybody. Read Full Review

The same detail put into the characters on the page and the imagination that brings them all into the same book needs to be applied to a level of writing that unifies all those fascinatingly weird elements and grounds them no matter how outlandish they may be. Until then, the writing seems elementary and disjointed making the drawings seem childish and disturbing, creating what comes off as a very amateur tangle of a book. Walt pulls the book out of the depths, but Bryan should stick to reading comics for his gig on AMC and steer clear of writing them. Read Full Review

Cryptozoic Man has been a series with a lot of squandered potential. I'm not exactly sure what happened and I read it all together several times. The final pages says "End"?" and I can only hope the answer is a loud "Yes!" Read Full Review

The final issue. The best thing that can be said about cryptozoic man is that it's over. Terrible from beginning to finish. While Flannigan gave Johnson good art to work with at no time will you be glad you are reading this book.

I couldn't begin to describe what I just read because I don't know for myself.
